HON. L. W. FAIRFIELD, now on leave of absence, serving his 

first term in Congress, was Vice President of Tri-State College 
for thirty-one years. During these years Prof. Fairfield taught over 
a wide range of subjects, the last ten being given to Philosophical 
subjects and Engineering. He is now before the people for re- 
election to Congress, on the Republican ticket. He has the advan- 
tage of a very fine record, both as teacher and public servant. 


Y DEAR FRIEND: This is to remind you that Tri-State College 
opens its doors to youas usual. Our fall term begins Oct. |. This 
is a good time fer those who would like to help do up the fall 

work before going into school for the year. 


The demand for educated young men and women will continue for 
years. The call for you from every source is to get into school. The Gov- 
ernment asks you to go to school; the public is offering unprecedented wages 
for teaching and all lines of private and public enterprise insist that you get 
ready for service. 


Tri-State offers three lines of College work most in demand— Normal, 
Engineering and Commercial. These have been our main lines for years, 
hence we are not novices in this. There are but three Standard Normal 
Schools in Indiana and Tri-Sfate is one of the three. Our Engineering 
School offers four courses in engineering each of which can be taken in two 
years, because we have kept out of them every subject not strictly essential 
to engineering. Our Commercial school has been in session every year for 
a third of a century. We are conducting a wide range of departments out- 
side of those named. Send for catalogue. We have reduced expenses to 
a minimum. We therefore not only offer young people school privileges, 
but at a price that lends hope to them. 


Tri-State College will have military training next year under direction 
of the War Department of the U. S. Government. Here is a telegram 
from the Adjutant General received August 3: 

**The President, Tri-State College: 

Your institution having satisfied the prescribed conditions, a unit of the students 
army training corps will be established therein by direction of the Secretary of War. 
An officer of the United States Army will be detailed to your institution at an early 
date and will upon arrival proceed with organization of your unit. Rifles, uniforms, 
overcoats and other equipment will be shipped to you soon upon the basis of figures 


already furnished by you. McCAIN, the Adjutant General.” 


In a letter from the Secretary of War, concerning this matter, we 
quote as follows: 


“Enlistments for military training will be pat voluntary, but all aden over 
eighteen will be encouraged to enlist. ‘This new policy aims to accomplish a two- 
fold object: first, to develop as a great military asset the large body of young men in 
the colleges; sad second, to prevent unneccessary and wasteful depletion of the col- 
leges through tidikeuorinate volunteering, by offering to the students a definite and 
immediate military status. 

Provision will be made for coordinating the Reserve Officers! Training Corps 
system with this broader plan.” 


I am sure we could make everything plain to you by correspondence, 
and therefore invite you to write with the utmost freedom. 


Faithfully yours, L. M. SNIFF 


P. S. It is never possible to get all our students together at one time, but 
on the other side of this folder is a view of a number of them on the way 
to hear Dr. Vincent, President of Rockefeller Foundation, on his war lec- 
ture very recently. 


PROFESSOR WILLIS A. FOX has been at the head of the 

Department of Education of Tri-State College since 1909. He 
came here direct from Columbia University, where he received the 
Master's Degree. Mr. Fox is Vice President of Tri-State College. 
He is now a candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruc- 
tion of the State of Indiana, on the Demoeratic ticket. He seeks the 
office backed by an enviable experience as a school man of Indiana.
